Hi!
I am new to this breed. My previous cat keeping experiences are my family's two cats, one Siamese and one American Shorthair.
Now I live alone and have just got a sweet little Bengal boy of 10 wks old. I picked him up on Friday and have spent the weekend with him. He is playful and cuddly, just the right amount of everything. He does not meow at night and sleeps right next to me. He plays with all his toys and even when I am not playing with him, he seems to entertain himself well.
During the day when I go out to do groceries, as far as I can tell, he will keep meowing as long as I keep him busy with some toy when I open the door to go out.
But what about the weekdays? I need to leave him home for about 7 or even 9 hours depending on my schedule. I will make sure I play with him a bit before I head out and play with him after I come home everyday, but just the idea of going out for the day, leaving him home, makes me feel bad because I am not there to accompany him.
How do people deal with it and how do bengal kittens cope with this? Should I be keeping an eye on getting another cat (maybe not a bengal but a siamese) at the same time?
Also, just curious, what temperature do you keep your bengal in? We are entering fall right now, the temp. can jump a bit from time to time, so the AC is turned off but I am not very sensitive to temperature and can tolerate very cold temp. But I need to know as a bengal kitten how warm he should be kept in so I can adjust my home temp.
